B&m Shops springing up all over London

[seniorphil]

I learnt about 2 new shops from philmepowers this week, Camden Town and Kentish Town. Today I spotted another 2, Wood Green and Edmonton.
After virtually no where to get gear/liquid this is very refreshing.

Good news.

We NEED these stores so badly.

1) the more, the better as we approach 2016.

2) the more "proper" e-cigs get exposure, the quicker people will throw their plastic sticks away or try vaping with something that works.

Vaping frenzy here in Bournemouth, even see loads of students ranging from 18 onwards vaping, even at my kids school i see adults vaping away

Whilst delivering Thomson Local Directories in Salisbury this week I came across a new Ecig shop. Google 'Mirage Ecig' to see their extensive range.

They don't sell any good gear at all.

Looks like the cowboys are moving out of double glazing, solar energy etc into Ecigs.

Super-Shiny with all this vaping going on in Bournemouth is vaping OK at Bournemouth Airport?

I vaped there without any problems, they didn't bat a eyelid

EDIT:Forgot to add.....i do work there though.....but Bournemouth airport is very relaxed.

From one of your posts I'd figured that was where you worked Super-Shiny.

Will look out for you when we return from Cyprus in the wee small hours at the end of May.

Wow, I just trashed them on another thread.

Forgot to mention the Vape Lab vape lounge opened on Shoreditch High Street last week too. Things are looking up, at this rate we can change London's nickname from the smoke to the vape.

I was telling mart166 about a shisha lounge being fitted up on Commercial Rd, but I drove past there there on Tuesday and I couldn't see it! Maybe I missed it, or they got shut down before they opened. Because it is a highly ethnic area, I wonder whether shisha lounges would object to vapers with nicotine? Can't see why, but you never know.

Where abouts did you live?
I often can't give a solid reason why I miss London when I am away from it. I recently had a 2 week holiday in France and Spain. It took me 10 days to unwind and get used to a slower way of life. By day 12 I wanted the hussle-bussle and madness of the city back.

The Vape Lab is right next to the junction of Shoreditch High Street and Comercial Street.
I've used shisha lounges at Turnpike Lane, Edgware Road, and Brick Lane. All were fine with the vape.

That's good to hear.

Btw.. When I left London to go live in NZ and after that Australia, I couldn't wait to leave. I was so over it. But if I am totally honest, I started to miss it in less than a month! Didn't return for 7yrs. By that point it was physically painful.
I used to wake up nearly everyday feeling like I had been beamed up to Mars and my only contact with the real world was watching it on Fox TV!
London has a buzz and vibe like nowhere else for me. There is no way I could live centrally anymore as I am getting old and like a quieter life, but being 45 minutes away suits me dandy as I can dip in and out whenever I feel like it.
